Program

Day 1
  • On the banks of the Loire between Iguerande and Mably:

    You will be welcomed at bougres d'ânes in Melay at the beginning of the afternoon. You will then leave on foot to join the banks of the Loire where Olivier, proposes to you to discover the most appropriate techniques to fish: With the lures, with the fly, alone, between friends, in family (from 12 years)... a whole panel of formulas which will answer your waitings. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned fisherman, our fishing guide will be able to adapt to all levels. A relaxing half day for fishing lovers or for those who want to discover the benefits of fishing!

Day 2
  • On the banks of the Loire between Iguerande and Mably:

    And then the next morning, very early for the courageous and later for those who are less so, Olivier proposes you to discover the migratory fauna which populates the banks of the Loire in spring. Last wild river in France, it is the scene of an unsuspected explosion of life. These outings are also a good opportunity to try your hand at wildlife photography and take some good shots. Walking is the preferred means of discovery, but you don't need to be an experienced hiker. The observation of the flora and fauna (birds, insects...) is done with adapted equipment, supervised by a professional and passionate guide: Olivier, and we take our time!

Useful information

The Loire, the longest French river, commonly called the last wild river in Europe, is a magnificent river. You will evolve on a zone classified Natura 2000 which gathers natural sites, throughout Europe, identified for the rarity or the fragility of the wild species, animal or vegetable and their habitats.

Walking in nature, gliding along the water, observing the flight of birds, smelling the perfume of the flowers in the hedges... with family and friends, this is the program! This nature stay is first of all a vacation where we will all together let go, get closer to simple things, learn a little, but also have fun and relax far from the screens. All activities will be accompanied by a naturalist guide. He is a specialist of birds, insects, fish and animals of the river, a disconnection to find oneself: the slow tourism par excellence. For the family or for experienced fishermen who want an experience in the Loire.
